IMO, there are 3 ways to acquire a great QB:

1. Draft one - This usually involves a top 10 draft pick, unless you win the "draft lottery" like Denver did with TD.

2. Sign a free agent/trade - almost impossible, since no team is going to let their star QB go for any sort of trade. There are exceptions to the rule, like Favre and Steve Young (guys who exploded AFTER being traded), but you'd have a better chance of picking up the next TD in round 6, IMO.

3. Develop a raw talent into an elite QB - This might be the most improbable of all. IMO the great QBs are great from the moment they enter the NFL...they've either got it or they don't, save a few exceptions (Favre and Young again).

IMO #1 is the only real option, since #2 and #3 are based on almost pure luck. If KC is ever going to get an "elite" QB, Carl will either have to make a colossal trade to move up in the draft, or go through a 2 or 3 win season in the right year.
